"Yeah, I don’t think I want to do it" Maggie said talking to her best friend Jessica.

"Why not"? Jessica asked.

"What if they don’t want me in the group" Maggie replied.

"Please, they will love you" Jessica said.

"Really you think so…I mean they are so big and already made a name for themselves and here I come" Maggie said with a worried voice.

"Maggie…just remember you aren’t in the group yet," Jessica said.

"I know, but Donna made it sound like I was already" Maggie said getting up to fix herself a drink in the kitchen.

"How did she do that"? Jessica asked following her.

"I don’t know, but she did" Maggie said drinking a soda straight out the can.

"Whatever, look I have to jet…Justin will be worried" Jessica said walking into the living room.

"Dam Justin is always worried about you" Maggie said following her.

"Well he loves me and plus he is my boyfriend" Jessica said opening up the door.

"Okay talk to you later" Maggie said.

"Yeah call me if you get any news about being in this group.

Maggie awoke to the phone ringing.

"Hello" she said.

"Hi…sorry if I woke you" Donna said.

"That’s okay"

"Okay, here’s the deal…we need you to come down to the office and meet the group.

"Okay, so what does this mean"

"Well I thought that the group should at least meet you before you join the group"

"I’m not sure I understand"

"Just be here at noon and I will explain everything to you" Donna said before hanging up.

Maggie was so scared and confused. She didn’t know what the group would think about her. She just hoped they would like her. She didn’t know what she should wear. She still never understood why she was joining the group. I mean they are huge everywhere, why would they need an extra member? With all her worries she got out of bed and headed into the shower. When she came out she turned on her radio and played the Deborah Cox CD. She went through everything in her closet and couldn’t find anything to wear, even though her closet was full of clothes. She decided to call Jessica, who was always good with fashion. Jessica arrived at the condo around 10:30.

"Maggie just calm down…what is the big emergency" Jessica said following Maggie up to her room.

"Okay here’s the problem, Donna wants me to meet the group today at noon and I don’t know what to wear.

"Okay, let’s go through this closet" Jessica said.

After about 15 minutes looking in the closet Jessica pulled out a pair of black hip hugger jeans and a dark blue cardigan set.

"Okay wear this" Jessica said handing her the clothes.

"Okay what shoes"? Maggie asked.

"Um…wear your black shoes.

Maggie came out wearing her outfit that looked very good on her.

"Okay, now how should I wear my braids"? Maggie asked sitting in front of her mirror.

"Let’s see" Jessica said playing with Maggie’s long skinny braids.

"I was thinking of wearing my braids down…what do you think"? Maggie asked.

"No, I think you should wear them in a half ponytail and have the rest of your hair down" Jessica said doing Maggie’s hair for her. Her and Maggie were very close like sisters. They did everything for each other.

"Okay, now all that is left is my make-up" Maggie said.

"Yeah, I’ll leave you to do that…I want to watch some TV in the living room.

"Okay"

Maggie put on a little blush that went very well with her chocolate skin. She put on Carmel shade of lipstick and made sure it didn’t look like she was wearing a lot of make up.

"MAGGIE SHOULDN’T YOU BE LEAVING"? Jessica shouted from downstairs.

The time now was 11:35.

"Yeah…I am leaving" Maggie said while putting on her jewelry.

Maggie ran downstairs and grabbed an apple on her way out.

"Jess wish me good luck," Maggie said while shouting the door.

"Good luck" Jessica whispered to herself.
